Summary Of The Book Tietz Textbook Of Clinical Chemistry And Molecular Diagnostics discusses the selection, performance, and evaluation of the results of laboratory tests, both the established ones and the latest ones. It is an updated encyclopedia that contains detailed information on everything one might want to know about laboratory tests in molecular diagnostics and clinical chemistry.
The book gives an analytical framework for assessing the usefulness of laboratory tests in medical science. It also provides a new approach towards the establishment of ranges for reference and the variables affecting the tests and the results. The effect of modern analytical tools on the management of labs and costs, and the application of tools of statistics are also discussed.
This edition i.e. the sixth edition has an additional chapter on hemostasis and contains recent developments in the field of molecular diagnostics. It is a student-friendly version that is shorter than its predecessors.
The text uses lab perspective to teach students about the fundamentals of chemistry and their applications in the real world. It includes chemical structures that are accurate and help explain the important chemical features of the relevant molecules.
Tietz Textbook Of Clinical Chemistry And Molecular Diagnostics has over 500 examples and easily interpretable tables to help students remember the main concepts easily. It contains many useful attributes like key concepts and learning objectives, which are aimed at making studying simpler for them. There are questions at the end of each chapter so that students can get an easy overview of the chapter.
